Question

Find the probability. Enter your answer as a simplified fraction.

Picking a purple marble from a jar with 13 green and 13 purple marbles.
The probability of picking a purple marble is

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)` is your answer

Explanation:

To calculate the probability, you first have to find the total things by adding.

13 + 13 = 26

Then, you find the number of purple marbles which is 13. So, 13 is the numerator, and 26 the denominator.

`(13)/(26)`

Next, simplify.

`(13)/(26) = (1)/(2)`

Have a wonderful day!
